On Wednesday, Leavitt again proved why she was a great choice to communicate President Trump’s agenda to the American people. As TGP’s Jordan Conradson reported, Leavitt held her latest press conference where she discussed President Trump’s meetings with foreign leaders at the White House along with the discoveries made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Of course, corporate media reporters were only interested in trying to ambush Leavitt with ridiculous questions regarding the Trump administration’s...

SNIPThe Westside Current reported:SNIPAnother question raised by this event is why LAHSA, with an annual budget of $857 million, needed FEMA’s assistance to offer services to 45 individuals. SNIPWhile FEMA aid has been going to LAHSA, victims of the fire who need FEMA aid are having trouble accessing it in many cases, thanks in part to rampant fraud.SNIPIn addition, as the Westside Current notes, homeless services are supposed to have hundreds of millions of their own dollars, thanks to the passage of Measure A last year, which raised sales taxes half a cent in L.A.

What Happened With The Democrats Previous Position?

Keir Starmer last night promised this country would continue to put Ukraine ‘in the strongest position’ to protect itself.

As part of a ‘new world order’, the US will no longer prioritise British and European security, meaning the UK and its continental allies will have to step up. But at the same time, Chancellor Rachel Reeves appears determined to cap defence spending at 2.3 per cent of GDP. The Mail has repeatedly called for the...

The former speaker, who held unchallenged power in the state for more than three decades, was indicted back in 2022 on federal racketeering charges, alleging that he participated in a string of bribery and influence peddling schemes. Madigan represented the southwest side of Chicago for half a century and held a grip on power since the 1990s, using that influence to stymie governors of both parties, and he essentially dictated policies for the entire state. He controlled the access to campaign funds and endorsements for the state’s Democrat Party and acted like a mafia boss with an absolute control of...

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, speaking at a Florida college on Tuesday, made pointed remarks about the limits of presidential power and her fear that government officials might flout court decisions. “Our founders were hellbent on ensuring that we didn’t have a monarchy,” she said, “and the first way they thought of that was to give Congress the power of the purse.”
